Disgraced former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has had his 2020 sex crimes conviction overturned by New York's highest court.
The Court of Appeals stated the trial judge made a mistake in allowing women, who claimed Weinstein assaulted them but were not part of the charges he faced, to testify.
Weinstein is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a former production assistant in 2006 and raping an aspiring actress in 2023.
The Manhattan District Attorney will now determine whether to retry Weinstein.
